I may have to miss out on Saturday. I'll let you know when I know for sure.
DD's boyfriend's parents are flying in from Alaska. This is "my parents meet your parents". Sounds serious doesn't it?
DD thought they should come on out here for a BBQ, ride ATVs and maybe light the bonfire. It would have to be Saturday, if that is what they decide. Guess I better clean house-just in case!

Hi everyone-I wanted to mention that A Comon Thread one of our LQS in Tigard is having an awesome program of Blue Bird Bucks. You buy 100.00 bucks and pay 80.00 and can be used on anything in store, but its the event I really wanted to tell you about.

Linda Matteotti is an expert Handi Quilter Educator and is having a weekend full of classes for Longarm quilting basics, six ways to quilt using free-motion, groovy boards, pantographs, rulers and Pro-stitcher. She will also demonstrate her way of making feathers and ruler techniques. The class is $100.00 but buying the Blue Bird Bucks you pay 80.00 and they will give a 60.00 credit after attending the class for in store purchases. So the class(s) are really costing 20.00 when all said and done. It looks and sounds like a good deal and a lot of information. OK if you are interested you have to purchase the Blue Bird Bucks by the 15th. The class is the weekend of Feb. 10-12.

I'm not a big Quilt Store shopper but this really looks interesting!

2Doods this is exciting-it's sounding very serious!! I'm sorry you won't be there we will miss you!

March 1-4 is the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, WA-is anyone planning to attend? and Stitches In Bloom Jan. 27-28 is also happening at the Oregon Gardens. This is also a nice show. I think Laurie, Quiltingnonie entered her quilts last year! Is anyone planning on this event?

Alice, I'm really excited for DD but not that you might not make it!!!!

Cindy, I might be able to do the 1/27 but can't on the 28th because I get to go see Christopher walk!!! Yippee!! We can talk this Saturday about it.

I just heard that they are all coming out to our house Saturday afternoon for sure. Now I have to gather some groceries and finish cleaning the house!

Sorry to miss out at Karen's. Hope someone takes pictures! HAVE FUN!

We took lots of pictures! We had 15 here, WOW! Missed you, Faith, Laurie and more that said they were coming and couldn't make it! We even met some new people. The group is growing! I'll email you pics.

Karen, I had a wonderful time yesterday. Thank you for hosting the group.

I want to see pictures!The only thing I saw yesterday was a bathroom all day long!I will be so glad when construction is done esp. since we only have one bathroom!

We missed all those who couldn't be there. Thank you, Karen, for a great gathering!

Karen,
Thank you for hosting the get together yesterday and having such a crowd in. Had a wonderful time sharing and seeing what everyone else had to share. It was nice seeing those I met at the retreat and getting to meet those who I have read so much about on the board.
Sorry we missed you Cindy.
